Chapter 23 The God King Escapes
"This thing should have been rooted in chaos, how did it end up inside your body?"
Hua Yunfei could only smile wryly; there was simply no way to explain this.
"Master, this thing is now inside me, separated from the Chaos Sea. Will this affect its growth?"
"No, innate things aren't as fragile as you think."
Hua Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Thank you, Master!"
Having resolved a potential problem, Hua Yunfei was in high spirits.
This placenta of heaven and earth had a great effect on him, allowing him to nurture various incomplete primal forces to a state of perfection.
This greatly increases the success rate of the path to transforming into a chaotic entity.
Now that he knows that what is contained within is a primordial treasure, not a holy spirit, Hua Yunfei finally felt relieved.
You can use it with confidence from now on.
After putting away the Devouring Demon Jar, the two figures appeared in the main hall.
The big black dog immediately came over.
"Hey kids, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"
"What's it to you?"
"Damn it, what kind of attitude is that? Kid, where's my Medicine King?"
Hua Yunfei glanced at it sideways: "You haven't even solved your problem, and you still want the Medicine King?"
"Woof! Didn't I propose a solution? Are you trying to renege on your promise?"
"Whether you mentioned your method or not, it's the same..."
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
The dog-human battle erupted again, and the dog was the same one, but this time the man was Hua Yunfei.
"Boy, you're actually a practitioner of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art! Be careful, or I'll expose your secret to the world once I get out!"
The big black dog made a vicious threat.
"You damn dog, do you think I don't know who you are? If you've got the guts, let's go outside and blow each other up, and see who the world's more interested in!"
Hua Yunfei didn't indulge it at all.
The battle between the man and the dog reached the depths of Purple Mountain, where even the Great Dao was nearly obliterated.
Soon after, Zishan returned to peace.
"boom!"
The Devouring Demon Jar rose and fell, while the supreme imperial might surged forth.
That was Zhang Lin making his move, using an imperial weapon to blast a stone wall.
Hua Yunfei asked Zhang Lin to take action, taking advantage of Zhang Lin's few moments of lucidity to rescue God King Jiang Taixu.
With a bang, the stone wall in front shattered under the bombardment of the imperial weapon, revealing the scene inside.
A gaunt figure lay motionless on the ground, unmoved by the commotion.
The body resembled a skeleton, its flesh and blood completely dried up, and its messy hair stretched for several meters.
"God King..."
Hua Yunfei's heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward.
"Oh no, is the God King dead?" Ye Fan approached, but he couldn't sense any sign of life at all.
"The oil is exhausted! Even with the help of the Medicine King, there's no guarantee of survival."
After examining the area, Zhang Lin spoke.
Hua Yunfei frowned; he hadn't expected the God King to be in such poor condition!
Even the primordial spirit was almost annihilated.
That's it! Ye Fan originally used a dragon pearl formed from the True Dragon Divine Medicine, along with the True Dragon Immortality Elixir, to pull the God King back from the brink of death.
Even so, the God-King did not have many days left to live and had to sever his original essence, forcing himself to live out his second life with great willpower.
They only have a few medicinal herbs in their hands now, and their medicinal effects are certainly not as good as those of the Dragon Ball.
It's not certain that we can save the God King.
"We have to give it a try. The God King's original life force is severely depleted. I can't guarantee that taking the Medicine King will restore it."
"But waking up the God-King shouldn't be a problem."
Hua Yunfei took out the only two remaining medicinal herbs he had and prepared to give them to Jiang Taixu.
"The medicinal properties of the Medicine King are too potent, let me take over first," Ye Fan said.
He stepped forward and took out a jade bottle containing the divine spring from the ancient forbidden land.
This divine spring can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded; it is both gentle and extraordinary, making it perfect for nourishing the body.
As the light shimmered, Ye Fan spared no expense, infusing several kilograms of divine spring water into Jiang Taixu's wooden-like body.
The God-King's emaciated body gradually changed, regaining some vitality.
The flesh and blood regained their luster.
Throughout the day, the God-King's body gradually improved under the nourishment of the divine spring, and his flesh and blood became more plump.
The time was right, and Hua Yunfei poured both medicinal herbs into the God King's body at once.
Immediate results!
The powerful medicinal properties of the Medicine King transformed into a torrent that rushed towards Jiang Taixu's limbs and bones.
Not only the physical body, but even the primordial spirit recovered somewhat from the powerful medicinal properties.
The god-king's withered body visibly swelled up.
The surrounding天地精气 (heaven and earth essence) surged in like a tide, and the God King's physical body, driven by instinct, automatically replenished its needs.
Half an hour later.
"Thump!"
A deep, muffled sound rang out; it was the heartbeat of the God-King.
Then came another sound, followed by a powerful heartbeat that grew faster and faster, making Hua Yunfei and Ye Fan turn pale.
"Whoosh!"
Two beams of cold lightning shot out, and God King Jiang Taixu opened his eyes, his terrifying gaze captivating.
He slowly rose to his feet, and a powerful aura rose from Jiang Taixu's body.
At this moment, Jiang Taixu's black hair was like a waterfall, and he looked heroic and imposing, appearing to be only in his twenties or thirties, without a trace of old age.
He was completely different from his previous emaciated appearance.
"Congratulations, Senior God King, on your escape!"
Hua Yunfei and Ye Fan stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Jiang Taixu.
The God-King imparted to them the holy art of battle; such a great favor must always be remembered.
"Get up, you have a heart."
Jiang Taixu sighed.
His understanding of the workings of nature was profound, and in a short time he understood what had happened.
He never expected that two minor cultivators, whose highest cultivation level was only at the fourth level of the secret realm, would ultimately be able to help him escape his predicament.
The reason Hua Yunfei and his companions spread the Battle Saint Technique was simply because they didn't want this secret to be lost.
"Who are these two fellow Daoists...?"
Jiang Taixu looked at Zhang Lin and Yang Yi beside him and asked.
Hua Yunfei quickly offered an explanation, and even the God King's eyes showed a strange look.
He came from an ancient family, and naturally he had heard of the names of the Celestial Master Yuan and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi from ten thousand years ago.
I never expected to meet you in this way at Zishan.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!" Jiang Taixu thanked Zhang Lin.
If Zhang Lin hadn't activated the Devouring Demon Jar with his Saint-level cultivation, he might not have been able to escape successfully.
"They're all just pitiful people..." Zhang Lin waved his hand.
Ye Fan, still unwilling to give up, asked the God King if there was any way to save Zhang Lin.
After listening to their explanations, Jiang Taixu silently stared at Zhang Lin for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Unless an ancient emperor is resurrected!"
"Is there really no other way?" Yang Yi closed her beautiful eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't be sad. Seeing that you're alright makes me feel no regrets," Zhang Lin comforted her.
Hua Yunfei also sighed; he knew more.
Zhang Lin's condition was complicated. He first died from the curse of the underworld, and then the Samsara Seal was implanted in his body.
Under the influence of the Reincarnation Seal, a new primordial spirit was born, serving the underworld. It can be said that this is the fate of all previous Yuan Tian Masters.
At this moment, it is merely a temporary revival of fragments of the primordial spirit from before death, a fleeting moment.
It was like the resurgence of the divine thoughts of the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the divine thoughts of the Taiyin Human Emperor.
The only difference is the length of time they have existed.
Unless one possesses the heaven-defying combat power of Ye Fan after he became the Heavenly Emperor, perhaps it is possible to try to survive against all odds.
All other methods, including the elixir of immortality, are ineffective.
As for the idea that there are no regrets on the sacrificial path, that's too far-fetched.
……
At the beginningless sutra, dazzling light burst forth, and a dimensional gate opened.
Hua Yunfei, Ye Fan, Jiang Taixu, and Yang Yi stood side by side, with a large black dog beside them.
The group took one last look into the depths of Purple Mountain, stepped into the domain gate, and vanished completely in a flash of light.
